The Ticket is and remains at all times the property of the issuing Carrier. The conditions of contract contained in the Ticket are a summary of some of the provisions of these Conditions of Carriage.

3.1.2 Requirement for Ticket

Except in the case of an Electronic Ticket, a person shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless that person presents a ticket valid and duly issued in accordance with Carrier's Regulations and containing the Flight Coupon for that flight and all other unused Flight Coupons and the Passenger Coupon.

The issuing Carrier may charge a service fee for this service, as set out in our Carrier Regulations, unless the loss or mutilation was due to the negligence of the issuing Carrier.

3.1.4 Ticket not transferable

A Ticket is not transferable. If someone other than the person entitled to be carried on a Ticket travels pursuant to that Ticket or is given a refund in connection therewith, the Carrier shall not be liable to the person so entitled if in good faith it provides carriage, or makes a refund.

c) fails to operate a flight reasonably according to schedule; or

d) causes the Passenger to miss a connection; or

When a Passenger is prevented from traveling within the period of validity of the Ticket because at the time such Passenger requests reservations CAL is unable to provide space on the flight, the validity of such Passenger's Ticket will be extended in accordance with CAL's regulations.

3.2.1.2

When a Passenger, after having commenced his or her journey, is prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the ticket by reason of illness, CAL will extend, (provided such extension is not precluded by Carrier's Regulations applicable to the fare paid by the Passenger) the period of validity of such Passenger's Ticket until the date when the Passenger becomes fit to travel according to a medical certificate, or until Carrier's first flight after such date from the point where the journey is resumed on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid. When the flight coupons remaining in the Ticket, or in the case of an Electronic Ticket, the Electronic Coupon, involve one or more stopover, the validity of such Ticket, subject to Carrier's Regulations, will be extended for not more than three months from the date shown on such certificate. Notwithstanding the above, when the fare paid is a special fare with validity shorter than that of normal fare, the validity of such ticket will be extended for not more than seven days. In such circumstances, Carrier will extend similarly the period of validity of Tickets of other members of the Passenger's immediate family accompanying an incapacitated Passenger.

3.2.1.3

Each Flight Coupon, or in the case of an Electronic Ticket, an Electronic Coupon; will be accepted for carriage in the class of service specified therein on the date and flight for which accommodation has been reserved.

9.9.3

If a person claiming the Baggage is unable to produce the Baggage Check and identify the Baggage by means of a Baggage Identification Tag, CAL will deliver the Baggage to such person only on condition that he or she establishes to CAL's satisfaction his or her right thereto, and if required by CAL, such person shall furnish adequate security to indemnify CAL for any loss, damage or expense which may be incurred by CAL as a result of such delivery.

If any flight is delayed or cancelled due to aircraft deployment or other reason which is attributable to CAL, CAL or CAL ground services agents will provide the flight dynamic information to the Passenger(s) and arrange necessary food and/or accommodation services for the Passenger(s).

10.4.2

If any flight is delayed or cancelled due to any reason which is not attributable to CAL, including but not limited to weather, air traffic control, security check or Passenger himself/herself, CAL or CAL ground services agents will provide the flight dynamic information to the Passenger(s) and assist the Passenger(s) in arranging food and/or accommodation services, and any cost so incurred will be borne by the Passenger(s).

16.7.2.2

If CAL issues a Ticket to the Passenger under a code share agreement, as set out in Article 2.2, where China Airlines or the designated code “CI” is shown as the Carrier on the Ticket, or any other arrangements whereby CAL acts as a contracting Carrier rather than as an operating Carrier or as an agent for the operating Carrier, CAL or the operating Carrier will have a legal liability under the Convention to the Passenger in relation to his or her Carriage by Air.

16.7.3

CAL is not liable for any damage arising from the fact that CAL has complied with laws or government rules and regulations or the Passenger has not obeyed laws or government rules and regulations:

As a result, the total amount the Passenger can recover from CAL and CAL's agents, servants, employees and representatives will not be more than the total amount of CAL's own liability, if any.

16.7.6

Unless CAL says otherwise, nothing in these Conditions of Carriage gives up any exclusion or limitation of liability to which CAL is entitled under the Convention or any laws which may apply.

16.7.7

Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage prevents CAL from excluding or limiting CAL's liability under the Convention or any laws which apply, or, gives up any defence available to CAL under the Convention or any laws which apply against any third party who has paid, compensation for the death, wounding or other bodily injury of a Passenger.
